this is an ~experience~ which means we’re preparing the space, materials, and reserving time for you!

rest assured that we will honor your scheduled time unless you tell us otherwise — if you’re here for class, then we’re here for you. 

it’s called the HONOR SYSTEM baby! so please don’t leave us hanging ❤️

if life happens and you need to reschedule…

JUST CALL US

there’s no cancellation or rescheduling fee (that would be rude of us) but give us at least a day’s warning so we can open up the slot for other people. be aware you do lose priority over your original time slot but we’ll do our best to accommodate.
in the event of weather-related or medical cancellations, just talk to us. there’s no need to bring a doctor’s note (i can’t believe i have to say that but pls it’s ok i believe you and i hope that heals you)

🔴DIRTY DISCLAIMER🔴

pottery comes with no guarantee that it will make it through the process, especially when you’re in the early stages of learning. 

the fail rate in ceramics is high! while we can do our best to mend or save pottery, there is always a chance that your pots don’t survive drying and firing (which is common).
we encourage you to come back for a second, third or even fourth class to build up muscle memory and make even cooler things if you find the challenge of making pots as deeply satisfying for the spirit as we do. 

okay but when will my pottery be ready [?!]

beginner wheelthrowing students: it takes about six weeks to move through the entire drying, glazing, and firing process.
at the end of class, we’ll give you a card that has an estimated date for pick-up. feel free to contact us on or after the date shown.

mind ur q’s
